why the Delay?

The grading of the approaches to the
Buena Vista street bridgeEhas been sus-
pended, aud the people want to know
why this is thus They also want to
know why the height of the bridge was
not changed after crossing the lines of
the Southern Pacific Company and the
A., T. & s. f. Company SO as to reduce
the amount and expense OF grading on
the other side of the river. After cross
ing the railway tracks there is no use
for maintaining the same elevation of
the bridge as was necessary at the cross
ing of the two railways, but lowering
of the elevation of the bridge could have
been made that would have saved q
vast expense to the city and would have
been of great benefit to the
people residing on Hof street.
Had the bridge been made on
an incline. after leaving the rail.
way tracks, about six feet of filling
would have been avoided on the East
Los Angeles street side, and the street
would have bee< passable to-day. AS it
is, nothing is being done, and the re.
port given to the HERALD that the
bridge would be passable in ten days, is
delusion and a snare. Not a team,
not shovel or spade were yesterday
in use in making this important viaduct.
The people want the HERALD to tell
them what is the matter, and they also
want to know why the opening of Cha
vez street is delayed. After the people
have paid for bridge which Is "a thin,
of beauty" they want it to be "a jo,
forever" for the sake Of utility, but t
have it left like Mahomet's coffin, sus
pended between the heavens and tn
earth is not agreeable to taxpayers. A
classic symbol the bridge is success
AS practical viaduct it Ia incomplete

American wines I'm Germany.

New YORK, May l0.--The 1ribane's
Washington special says; Consul Miller,
of Leipsic. in late report holds out to
American wine and fruit growers the
hope that demand for American wines
will spring up in Germany. He says
California wine is already widely known
to some extent in Germany, and Y pro.
durable in Leipsic. A further Tact OF
interest to American growers is that OF
fruit dried or preserved in syrup. Ex-
tensive collections were shown by Euro
pean makers. and the processes employed
anneared to the envoy to be successful,
but for size and quality the fruit could
not be compared with California pro-
ducts. and there is no doubt that Amer
lean fruits, energetically introduced,
could compete successfully with native
products.

sOUTHHERN PAClFIOs STRATEGY
Dismissal OF suit Affecting
Theff Interests.

SAN DIEeo, May l0.-The Southern
Pacific suit, pending in the Supreme
Court, to condemn the old Texas Pacific
right of way into San Diego. has been
dismissed. This probably means that
the Southern Paci fic has abandone' its
attention of building here at pressat. Ii
is understood that the Southern Pacific
and the Atchison and Santa Fe roads
have made compact whereby the
Santa Fe agrees not to invade Southern
Pacific territory north of q line drawn
due west from Mojave, the Southern
Pacific to remain content with its pres
ent lines in that part of the State south
ef the same line. The dismissal OF the
SUI seems to bear out this arrangement
which is only terminable on three
years notice by either party.
